Votum

Votum

A rectangular signet made for the little finger. Votum is Latin for a solemn promise, and the ring keeps it plain: a flat face with nothing on it but the metal.

Solid 925 sterling silver, cast and hand-finished in Bali, with the black left in the recesses on purpose. Also in 24K gold vermeil, made to wear into a distressed, raw look.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Solid metal, always restorable.

Cast by hand. Small casting imperfections are intentional, part of the handcrafted process.

Oxidized by hand. Oxidizing the silver gives each one a unique hand-finished detail.

Made to wear in. 24K gold vermeil is designed to wear into a distressed, raw look. On the high points that touch the most, it wears through to reveal the silver underneath.

Still changing. The oxidation of the silver and the vermeil continues naturally with time.

Take it off first. Chlorine, salt water, and sweat dull silver and wear vermeil.

Keep it clear. Perfume, lotion, and cleaners go on before it does.

Store it dry. A pouch or a closed box, away from the bathroom.

Clean silver gently. Warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Dry it fully.

Vermeil: dry cloth only. Silver polish and dip cleaners damage the gold.

Never dip it. The black in the recesses is the finish, not tarnish. A silver dip strips it.

The Details Matter

  • Interior of a sterling silver signet ring showing the maker's mark and 925 purity stamp — DARMA

    Precious Metals

    Solid 925 sterling silver, never plated, coated, or steel underneath. The gold option is vermeil: 24K gold over the same solid silver. Real metal all the way through, and always restorable.

  • An artisan hand-polishing a sterling silver signet ring on a rotary wheel — DARMA

    Handcrafted Quality

    Each item is cast in Bali, oxidized black, then polished back by hand on the high surfaces. The black stays in the recesses on purpose, so every one reads raw, not shiny, and no two are exactly alike.

  • Sterling silver signet rings in branded presentation boxes — DARMA

    Lifetime Warranty

    Covered for life against defects in materials and workmanship. If we made it wrong, we repair or replace it. Oxidation, and vermeil wearing through to the silver, are the finish aging as designed, not defects.
